UPDATE: ā€œJurassic Worldā€ is leaving a major footprint on the domestic box office. Universal reports the ā€œJurassic Parkā€ sequel is on track for $70 million on Friday and a massive opening weekend of $162 million, according to evening estimates. Early estimates had pegged the film at $155 million.

If projections hold, ā€œJurassic Worldā€ will see the best June debut of all time, outmuscling ā€œMan of Steel,ā€ which reeled in $116.6 million in 2013. The movie would also see the year’s second-best opening, behind Disney and Marvel’s ā€œAvengers: Age of Ultronā€ ($191.3 million).

The fourth installment would be the most successful of the dino franchise. It comes over a decade after ā€œJurassic Park IIIā€ hit theaters and 22 years after Steven Spielberg’s original ā€œJurassic Parkā€ launched.

The $70 million-plus Friday earnings include $18.5 million from Thursday night showings. The ā€œJurassic Worldā€ previews outpaced ā€œFurious 7″ ($15.8 million) as the biggest latenight showing ever for the studio. The monster pic also looks to trample ā€œFurious 7’sā€ title as Universal’s highest-grossing film.
